Indefinite Suspensions for Burress, Vick?

According to a Yahoo Sports article, Roger Goodell is likely to suspend Plaxico Burress and Michael Vick indefinitely. Goodell, the commissioner of the NFL, has been strict in his short time and the helm and could reportedly make an example out of Burress and Vick.
An indefinite suspension for Burress and Vick would likely keep both players from participating in the 2009 NFL season. Although the move by Goodell would be somewhat surprising, it would align with his goal of cleaning up the league’s image.
Vick was recently released from prison but hasn’t yet served a suspension from the NFL. If his indefinite suspension continues, the earliest he would likely see the field against is the 2010 NFL season.
Burress is facing gun charges and has thus far refused to take a plea bargain. The talented wide receiver has a number of teams interested in his services but this latest news makes it sound like he won’t be available for this forthcoming year.
